Magnetic alarm contacts are the first line of defense in your security system. They are inexpensive, very reliable, and in most cases out of sight. Alarm contacts should be used on all doors and windows.
The most basic sensors of any alarm system is a door and window Magnetic Contact Switch. This type of contact switch is for normally closed circuits; this means that the when the magnets are lined up with the switch the circuit is closed. Move the magnetic away from the switch causes the sensor to open. The security panel sees this, and if the system is armed, an alarm will occur. When it comes to alarm contacts you can trust the WINN brand security products.

The replacement is exactly the same size as the original, so it fit perfectly in the existing hole. These were easy to install, worked well and we were up and running in less than half an hour. (Posted on 5/18/15)

I couldn't have ordered a better product. ADT wanted $95.00 to replace one switch. 10 minutes and I had the job was done. (Posted on 5/11/15)

It works great and was received quickly from the seller. It took 2 minutes to replace the old sensor and I saved the service charge from the alarm company. (Posted on 5/8/15)
